### Description

This prototype project will design, develop, and demonstrate an AI- and ML-based approach for remote operation, health monitoring, and adaptive optimization of fielded Chemical and Biological (CB) sensors. It will create a modular AI Model Suite deployed at the tactical edge and supported by a centralized cloud or server architecture. The suite is intended to maximize sensor reliability, performance, and life cycle in contested environments. Submissions are due December 1, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the submission type is an Enhanced White Paper.
